  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

I'm sure more than a few of you are familiar with the "BadAstronomy" forum. Well it looks like it's a blog now but either way, here's Phil's excellent youtube channel where he does question and answer videos about space.

Oh and Phil... ask Discovery to give you a better webcam. Seriously man.

The original Bad Astronomy site is basically a blog now. The Bad Astronomy forum merged with The Universe Today to form the BAUTforum.

He is great. If any of you get a chance to see him speak in person, do so. A few years back I even got him to pose with me holding a shout out to fan and departed CF member Mistermystery.
